Biden is dirty, and the developing story that he received $900k as a consultant from Ukraine will finish him off. He and his son are in deep kimchee and the lashing out at the NYT, of all papers, shows that they know this is a campaign killer. Especially when he's on tape bragging about shutting down that prosecutor by threatening 0bama's $1B loan. He's such a befuddled old fool.
Bernie's heart attack killed off the faint glimmer of his campaign. If he's anything like me after my heart attack, his mind will have a minor fog for upwards of a year and he was never the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with. Plus, he's a pretty old bird to suffer an event like that so I doubt he'll recover quickly anyway. His campaign has already started backing off in anticipation of a very confused and muddled showing at the next debate. It would only make sense for his opponents to hammer him on stage ASAP to finish him off before he recovers his wits and his already marginal eloquence.
Giffords seems to be the least insane of all of them, but she's going no where.
Hillary won't jump in. She wants to, but I don't think she has the appetite for yet another beating and there's still hard feelings from the Bernie supporters over that raw deal the DNC engaged in via Wasserman-Shultz.
That being said, Warren will be destroyed by Trump.
I agree with almost everything here, nice analysis NT.
I think the Dem nomination is down to just Warren and Biden at this point. I don't think Joe is out for being dirty because Dem voters don't care about Dem dirtiness. Their usual tactic is just to accuse Trump of whatever crime any Dem is accused of. (and then accuse Trump of anything else they can think of, also)
Bernie was never attracting any new followers this time. He only had his 2016 followers and that never changed. The heart attack just made some of his followers realize he's done and they shifted over to Warren.
All the other have never had any traction and will drop out as soon as the money gets low.
By the way, is it just me, or does Corey Booker literally look like a shaved Bozo the Clown when he talks? I mean literally.
